Watch for email updates. Each week you will receive an online report card from our professional driving coaches with tips to help your teen improve their driving. Review the video and have an open conversation with your teen. It's a great beginning to a lifetime of safe driving.

How does the in-car technology work?

A motion sensor is installed near the rearview mirror of a participating teen's vehicle. When triggered by erratic movement, such as swerving, hard braking and sudden acceleration, the device records sights and sounds both inside and outside the vehicle.

When the device is triggered, images and sounds are sent wirelessly to the Teen Safe Driver Center, where professional driving coaches review the footage. Parents can log in to a confidential website and review a weekly report card featuring video footage and an objective assessment of their teen driver's performance, including a comparison to other teens.
